A month ago, a beach in Siocon named "Secret Paradise" was trending on Facebook when one vlogger visited the place and took a video of it. When I saw it, my reaction was plain and casual thinking that it was the vlogger's exceptional videography skills that made the place stunning in videos. However the following day, another Facebook user posted the video and most of the comments on the video were incredibly positive and good.
Since I couldn't wait for another family beach day. I decided to visit and explore the place as soon as possible together with my daughter and my niece who turned out to be the happiest when we visited the beach! I yearned to experience the allure of this beach firsthand and be amazed by this hidden paradise and yes recommend it to my family for our next beach outing.
And so now here we go exploring the secrets of "Secret Paradise"!
Taraaaa! Let's go!
The Secret Paradise of Siocon
Nestled away in the once-silent barangay of Siocon, is a beach paradise that locals fondly call "Secret Paradise". This hidden gem patiently awaits discovery as if whispering to local and neighboring town explorers to unveil its stunning beauty and share it with the world.😎
It was a beautiful afternoon when we went there. I wasn't as babbly excited as the kids, I didn't want to get disappointed. I was optimistic yet cautious. I have become well-acquainted with the kinds of beaches in this part of the province, I'm kind of familiar with its features. The beaches in this part facing East have muddy shores specifically the beaches of Nailon and so with Siocon. So the name "Secret Paradise" really rang a bell, it piqued my interest, because for sure locals would not name it "Secret Paradise" if it were just another muddy beach.
To paradise Secret we go!
When the driver dropped us at the area, we saw the line of parked motor vehicles hinting that this hidden gem was no longer much of a secret. Nonetheless, my daughter, niece, and I couldn't contain our excitement.
From greens to blue.
I was no longer surprised that we had to navigate through lush greenery before stumbling upon this hidden gem. It also explained why I hadn't known this beach despite my numerous visits to Siocon. I was unaware of the beach's existence, but not this time anymore. Yeaayy!
We followed a path through lush vegetation, with a tall fence bordering a neighboring private resort. My 2-year-old daughter whose excitement is contagious was trying to keep up with my every step. We walked for about 3 minutes but found no clue of the beach yet.
The verdant surroundings gave no hint of the beautiful beach concealed below. It felt like stepping into another world, where nature's embrace kept this treasure hidden until you reached its doorstep.
And then, the sight of the beach!
Charaaan! The "Secret Paradise"!
As we finally arrived, I found myself torn between sheer amazement and the deafening cheers of my daughter! haha! Her exuberant joy echoed all around as she caught her first glimpse of the beach!
Well yes, who wouldn't burst into shouts of joy after that long walk? Haha!
I was awestruck by the sheer beauty beauty. It is remarkably beautiful in its simplest and purest form. While its sand may not be as fine and expansive as the San Remigio shoreline, "Secret Paradise" possesses a unique charm that sets it apart from other beaches. I was speechless that it took me a few minutes to point out its unique charm.
It is a blend of lush trees and a beauty of a pristine shoreline!
For me, one of its defining features is the abundance of trees lining the shoreline, generously providing shade for those seeking respite from the sun. These trees not only offer comfort but also add to the beach's natural beauty. I don't know most of the trees' names but they sure are contributed to the rich tapestry of the environment.
Another distinctive aspect of this beach is its shoreline design, where the sea's gentle waves seem to caress the seashore, creating an alluring invitation. It's as though the beach itself is inviting its guests to dive in and take a plunge! The way my niece lingers on the beach while walking at the shore is proof!
A beautiful sightseeing!
"We took a leisurely stroll along the shoreline and discovered a perfect spot for us to sit. With only my bag containing my daughter's clothes and milk, we settled down. I found a cozy spot under the shade of a tree and sat down while my daughter and my niece hurriedly ran to the beach and played.
I was contentedly watching my daughter and niece playing on the beach. And at the same time, I was in awe of the view of the glistening white sand under the radiant sun, framed by swaying trees. It feels like I was transported to a tropical paradise.
Happy People, Happy Beach!
I found more of the trees (mostly coconuts) on the right side of the beach that is bustling with people!
Every tree seemed to have its own group of people seeking shelter from the sun. The coconut trees, in particular, formed a welcoming oasis of shade. Some installed hammock on the trees and others were bringing their own chairs with them. Families and friends lounged beneath them, their laughter and conversations blending with the gentle rustle of palm fronds in the breeze.
Wherever I looked there were people enjoying their time with their loved ones and relaxing on this beach. The whole place was brimming with life and energy!
I also noticed that many beachgoers brought their own picnic baskets, colorful beach towels, and even portable speakers playing soft tunes. It was a community of happiness and relaxation, where strangers became friends for the day!
Such a beautiful paradise teeming with vibrant life! It's a blessing to be able to see this paradise by myself, not to mention the kids loved it and enjoyed it as much as I do.
And guess what, this Secret Paradise is accessible to all. This is all free.
Time to go Home.
This nature paradise is so great that we reluctantly left the place. I knew my daughter and my niece wanted to take a dip, but I hadn't brought extra clothes for the kids. We promised to be back very soon and enjoy more of this tranquil haven.
I wish that the locals and all who wish to visit the place continue to cherish and protect this once-secret paradise. The place is a reminder that beauty can be found in the most unexpected places and that sometimes, the best-kept secrets are meant to be shared.
That's it for our discovery of the Secrets of the "Secret Paradise". Thank you so much for reading. Hope you enjoyed it too. I wish you all safe and well always.
Don't forget to smile often!🤗😊😍
It looks like you are having so much fun when you are there, I can see the real beauty, even though there are many visitors there, the place still looks so clean, not only that, the view offered there is also so beautiful, the sea water is so clean
Though we didn't experience the delightful feeling of taking a dip in the sea still we had a great time discovering this place 😍 My daughter enjoyed the place more than I did!
Happy weekend! ❤️

Wow! I had been there several years ago. But it was not as beautiful as this now. Thank you for sharing mam @callmesmile
Through looking the pictures,reveals the paradise secret❤️So amazing😲It's really a paradise!❤️How I wish to visit there and feel the fresh air around❤️Thank you Ma'am @callmesmile for sharing❤️😊
It's an incredible place to be free and that's good. People can relax and enjoy its beauty without paying anything, just their fares for transpo and foods. How I wish we have that here, beaches here have entrance fees even it's not that beautiful.
@callmesmile Lovely scenery, and the beach looks so nice, where the kids are definitely the ones who enjoy it the most.
